SIMON BROS.

As an example of what energy, coupled
with good sound judgment, will do, we
call attention to the above mentioned
house. Five years ago Messrs. Fred and
Joe Simon secured room in the Empo-
rum building, twenty-five by forty
feet, and put into it a stock OF
millinery goods exclusively. Many older
heads thought that the venture would be
disastrous to these two well-known
young men. They did not enjoy the
same opinion and the sequel will show
that the boys were correct. By study
ing the wants of the Territory in their
line, the business grew rapidly and a
visit to their splendid store rooms
was revelation to THE DEMOCRAT
preventative. Their finely appointed
salesroom on the ground floor is well
stocked, literally packed with the finest
goods. This department is presided over
by the handsome salesladies in a quiet,
noiseless manner, ever ready with quick
eyes and deft fingers to show the rich
goods. A few of the styles in
hats displayed, and of the very
latest, are the Olcott, fremont,
Durant, Northwood, Sonora, Camelote
Achme and Tuxedo. One rich hat from
the Partisan modiste Madam Eugene is
| of white fancy straw, trimmed in Ostrich
feathers and Picot ribbon, lined with
cream velvet. 1t is beautiful produc-
ton and fortunate will be the lady who
| secures it to add to her beauty.
In bonnets their display includes the
following styles: Merlin, Dandy, Zauza,
Normandy, Ideal, Memo, and Favorite.

beauty of finish in delicate tints would
be hard to surpass in any city. Their
sample room is conveniently arranged,
and here are displayed the finest OF
trimmings and ornaments, laces
flowers and ribbons in dazzling
array. A plain shape is passed into the
trimming room and after a few hours, is
hauled out to gladden. the heart and
please the fancy of the most particular.
A walk through the ware rooms in the
basement shows a never-ending array of
hats and bonnets. Five years ago it
would require two years to absorb the
stock on hand, now two months
will see its distribution completed reach
ing into Idado, Montana, Wyoming and
Colorado Not such a bad showing.
Five years ago 25x40 feet of space, now
50xl10 feet exclusive of warerooms.
AUERBACH BROS.
This firm have planned and guided to a
successful issue several special sales in
connection with their regular heavy
trade. The long counters are lined daily
with the anxious faces of fair purchasers
debating upon the shade and texture of
the many pieces of fabric spread before
them by the genteel clerks and sales
ladies', while the myriad of cash boys
is kept busy, noislessly hurrying here
and there through the extensive
rooms answering the call of the clerks /;
then swarming like bees around the
cashiers desk waiting for parcels and
change. So day after day the depart
ments are conducted smoothly and con-
scientiously by master hand, and the
! motto is that fair and courteous dealing
leads to success. There are few more
thorough business men in the West than
these same Auerbach Bros.
COIN BRos.

salesladies are kept busy showing goods
and attending to the inquiries of the
many patrons of this firm. We refer
again to their announcement of special
sale for one day only The showing is
attractive and must be seen to be appre-
ciated. A splendid line OF muslin wear
hosiery will be offered the patrons of this
house on the day mentioned in their new
advertisement. They understand the
trade thoroughly and keep nothing that
is not in keeping with the reputation of
the firm.
